Integrated lighting module

Abstract

An integrated-lighting-module may have a driver cap, a heat sink module, a LED light chip, an optical reflector, and a holder/trim. The driver cap may be configured to hold a driver within the driver cap to power the LED light chip. The driver cap may attach to a top of the heat sink module. The heat sink module may be finned at various locations. The holder may attach to the heat sink module with the optical reflector and the LED light chip disposed between elements of the holder and elements of the heat sink module. Trim, such as MR16 sized trim, a lamp, and/or a lens holder, may attach to bottom flanges of the holder. The integrated-lighting-module may be adjusted without interfering with the trim. The holder may be trim in some embodiments.

       4. The integrated lighting module according to  claim 1 , wherein the heat sink module comprises a plurality of fins, wherein the plurality of fins are configured to transfer the at least some heat away from the at least one light emitting diode element. 
     
     
       5. The integrated lighting module according to  claim 1 , wherein the at least one light emitting diode element is radially surrounded by portions of the heat sink module. 
     
     
       6. The integrated lighting module according to  claim 1 , wherein the at least one light emitting diode element is attached a bottom central portion of the heat sink module. 
     
     
       7. The integrated lighting module according to  claim 1 , wherein the holder has elements that are substantially shaped as a conical frustum. 
     
     
       8. The integrated lighting module according to  claim 1 , wherein the top region of the heat sink module comprises at least one aperture. 
     
     
       9. The integrated lighting module according to  claim 8 , wherein the at least one aperture is configured to receive a mechanical fastener. 
     
     
       10. The integrated lighting module according to  claim 1 , wherein a non-finned region of the heat sink module comprises at least one aperture. 
     
     
       11. The integrated lighting module according to  claim 10 , wherein the at least one aperture is configured for passing at least one wire through the at least one aperture. 
     
     
       12. The integrated lighting module according to  claim 1 , wherein the communication between the holder and heat sink module is attachment to each other. 
     
     
       13. The integrated lighting module according to  claim 12 , wherein the attachment between the holder and heat sink module is done by a complimentary threading connection. 
     
     
       14. The integrated lighting module according to  claim 1 , wherein a bottom portion of the holder has an annular flange. 
     
     
       15. The integrated lighting module according to  claim 1 , wherein when the integrated lighting module is an assembled configuration the driver housing is attached to the heat sink module, the heat sink module is attached to the at least one light emitting diode element, the heat sink module is attached to the holder with the at least one optical reflector trapped between the at least some elements of the holder and the at least some elements of the heat sink module. 
     
     
       16. The integrated lighting module according to  claim 1 , wherein when the integrated lighting module is an assembled configuration, the integrated lighting module has an overall height, wherein with respect to the overall height, the driver housing is located at an overall top of the integrated lighting module and the holder is located at an overall bottom of the integrated lighting module, such that the driver housing and the holder are disposed opposite of each other, and such that the driver housing is located entirely above the heat sink module. 
     
     
       17. The integrated lighting module according to  claim 1 , wherein the holder has an upper opening with a diameter dimension selected from a range of one-half (0.5) inch to two and one-half (2.5) inches; wherein the upper opening is in communication with at least some portion of the heat sink module.
